Dear WG. I am touroughly aware there are ARP lovers and haters. I am a big fan. Did my homework and watched all the ARP series. I know your license/ cooperation with the marvelous ARP creators is coming to an end. My question: could you please make 1 event before that in which the lover scan play the ARP ships tot heir full potential? I mean: splitting up ships, hovering in the air, firing ridiculous laser shots, shooting a gazillion of rockets and even better: a pneumatic drill to wreck the opponents in a knife fight?? All this when seeing the mental image (NOT a “RL”like sailor) dancing on the deck singing “carnival doja!” Just for once! We (the lovers) have been grinding our @sses off to achieve this wonderful ships. I would so much like to see an event tob ring those horrors “to live” like they were in the series! I would SO much like to see this!

No! not to upset anybody! Please don't get me wrong on this 1! My idea was an event for ARp ships only just for 1 or 2 days with the ridiculous arms they're showing in the series. Don't need any special reward for that. Just the plain fun. And if you're not into ARP: don't participate! Never meant to insult anyone!

Oooh, the ammount of heartattacks in europe would be amazing. They would call it the Arp Culling and teach about it to kids in schools generations from now. 

Anyway, i think there was a rahter similar event once, for 1st of april: space ships. I think they were imitating space battleship yamato. Afaik, it was quite well received.

ARP vs. ARP with the effects on a fog map would have been nice but to some extent you can add a mod that gives you a bit of that feeling as well. I don't use any mods myself for you have to keep it up after every update and it can give you problems that is not worth it.

Maybe there would have been if the ARP community would have been bigger and there would have been less stiff old iron eating goats around.

Sometimes I see some ARP effects already to some extend they implemented it in the game.

You realise they don't just tick a checkbox and all of those things work right?  Those things would take crazy resources to implement... for your 1-2 days.

Shush, I like this proposal and we all know WG can just put more monkeys behind the typewriters, it's how they make the EU specials as well :trollface:

Either way it adds to the entertainment value of this forum.

It's probably doable though. Most of the things in quoted above are already in the game in some form: missiles are just another kind or projectile, they still follow ballistic arcs. Pneumatic drills can be done following the torp mechanic. Lasers are also just another projectile - with zero aerodynamic drag and a trail that doesn't disappear. Hovering in the air... well, have you ever had that bug when the water doesn't render? It's literally already in the game. Implementing a second plane of action might be a bigger problem though, but not completely out of the question neither probably. What's really going to eat up manpower is the modelling for splitting ships and so on. Everything else is just slapping a bit of extra stuff on already existing models, including the mental models. All in all that is in the scope of special event stuff in the past, certainly if we leave aside splitting and hovering. 

 

Personally I'm probably quite in the middle. Didn't even watch any ARP stuff until yesterday and I'm neither hooked nor disgusted. I can see how the anime builds on animistic elements of shintoism or however that's spelled and combines that with more modern pop-culture stereotypes. I've seen worse, but it's hardly the pinnacle of storytelling neither. Would I take part in such an event? Hell, yes. Lasers, scantily clothed girls, explosions. Proven formula.

Googled ARP. Can't see the connection between flying spaceboats and cisco routing protocols.

But only if they add "POI" as standard option under a F function key :)
